Colossal—the powerhouse behind some of the nation’s most compelling fundraising campaigns—is turning up the volume with the second annual America’s Next Top Hitmaker competition. One standout artist or band will walk away with $50,000, an appearance in Rolling Stone, and the chance to perform live at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in New York City.
This fall, the 2025 Global Citizen Festival will once again bring together artists, advocates, world leaders, philanthropists, and fans with one collective mission: to end extreme poverty. This music festival rewards passionate Global Citizens who take action on the world’s most pressing issues with the chance to win a pair of free tickets through the Global Citizen app. Past performers have included legends like Beyoncé, Usher, Ed Sheeran, Kendrick Lamar, Jung Kook, Stevie Wonder, Rihanna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Metallica and Doja Cat. Now, America’s Next Top Hitmaker will join the ranks, showcasing their talent on one of the biggest and most impactful stages in the world.
